What we’re dealing with here is basically a total war on numerous fronts, ranging from automobile manufacturing to experiments in robotics to financial speculation to 21st-century media relations.

Elon Musk bought about $25 million worth of Tesla stock this week.
His purchases come after Musk announced to Tesla employees that the company was cutting 9% of its workforce.
It could be a signal to employees and Wall Street that he’s still optimistic about the future of Tesla.

An employee said the company borrowed workers from the Model S production line to avoid pausing Model 3 production.
